SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER TOUR
AND CSI SCENARIO

Science & Technology Center programs begin with a guided tour and a SCAVENGER HUNT, which together last about 45 minutes. We offer different Scavenger Hunts for each grade level. All questions are based on California Science Standards.

The remainder of the time is self-guided: viewing and interacting with our numerous hands-on exhibits. Total duration is typically one to two hours.

$105 for up to 25 primary students and additional chaperones

CHEM MYSTERY

The Scavenger Hunt is often combined with our popular CSI scenario: CHEM MYSTERY. Students become science detectives as they step inside a crime scene. They must deduce who committed the crime by visiting the site of the dastardly deed, listening to the alibis of the various suspects, and using forensic techniques in our crime lab. Duration is typically one hour.

Chem Mystery can be combined with the Scavenger Hunt for an additional $50.00 per group per session.

Children learn about eclipses, Earth's water cycle, and the differences between Earth and Moon.

JOURNEY TO SPACE
